Yes. Ideas and human energy are needed to help the alternatives and 
optimism grow.

In the final chapter of Gordon Hempton's book, "One square Inch of 
Silence," an FAA official describes aviation's next generation, as 
"silent aircraft."  Flight even quieter than birds. Can't you see 
words like, "ephemeral" working their way into the jet engine ad copy?

Its a time of rapid, significant change and the only time we have to 
work with. My best guess is that recordists most closely resemble 
monitors or sentinels.   Rob D.
